Here is says both birds confirmed to be Hurricane and Brooklyn, and the note on the home page says Hurricane is not a positive ID.  Why???  ???

That's me.  RCF and Rose say that the female is doing all the things that Hurricane does and there is a Y on her band, however, there are differences in her feather patterns which could be because she is puffing out her feathers due to the cold but I'm not sure - you know me, I'm very cautious about identifications.  So RCF and Rose are keeping a wickedly close eye on both birds in the hope that they will get a clearer band number (the female is not being wildly cooerative) to confirm that Hurricane is back and doing what she does best ... make our lives interesting!

Great pics. I looked through the database all morning and had a list similar to TPC's. How nice to see the kids back.

Well, one of our birds is Brooklyn. (21/Y)  ;D  8)  The other one I believe to be Hurricane (23/Y),  I could see a Y on her band.

Brooklyn

   

Hurricane ?

We have banded 8 birds with 2x over Y.

This sequence of bands is for males.  We do we know we have one female who was banded as a male in this sequence (Hurricane) and maybe two (Hurricane's sib Chinook, status unknown).  All the others are male - Brooklyn (survived), Max (unknown), Ty (survived), Tupper (unknown), Fate (unknown) and Mac (deceased).

Is that 2/Y? It is a great shot but a bit blurry. Do you have any idea of who that could be?

Yes that's a 2 and a y. Rcf and I spent about 3 hours down town and I can tell you the wind is coming straight off an iceberg but I think she has some band numbers. I can tell you there are two falcons a male and a female  :).
